EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-003622-0000" transports us back to the streets of Leicester in England during the year 1891. The image captures a bustling street scene, with buildings lining both sides of the road. However, what truly catches our attention is the magnificent clock tower that rises up at right angles to the street, partially interrupting its flow. The clock tower stands proudly as the topographical center of this vibrant city, marking the convergence point of four streets. Its grandeur and architectural beauty are evident even from this vintage photograph. It serves not only as a functional timepiece but also as a symbol of Leicester's rich history and urban development. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the intricate details adorning each building along the street. From decorative doorways to elaborate sections and structures, they all contribute to an atmosphere that exudes charm and character. The composition offers us a glimpse into daily life in late 19th-century Leicester – people going about their business on foot or horse-drawn carriages traversing through this lively avenue. The view extends beyond just one street; it provides us with a panoramic vista of the entire cityscape. This remarkable artwork was captured by an unidentified author in 1866 before being transformed into a stunning print by Alinari. It allows us to marvel at not only its historical significance but also appreciate how architecture shapes our surroundings over time. Let this evocative image transport you back more than a century ago when Leicester thrived amidst its charming streetscapes and iconic landmarks like this awe-inspiring clock tower still stood tall for all to admire.
